Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren are like the stars, almost too numerous to list and new ones being discovered each year. She is the treasured and loved grandmother to Jennifer and Steve Levert, Luke and Bri, Sean and Laura Male, Vincent and Meaghan Male, Christa and Tobias Unruh, Katie Murray, Matthew Murray, Amy Misener, Andrew Misener, Aaron Misener and Samantha Dowhaniuk, Adam Misener (predeceased 1990), Dennis, Léo, Juliette, Taylor and Mina Mikhail, Isabel, Elliot, Toni, Alexandra and Josh, Chantelle and Chris, Danielle, Janna, Abegail, Aeden and Laura Weir, Riley and Logan Byrnes, Sion, Cameron, and Calum. Always bringing a smile to her face were her great-grandchildren, Noah, Grace, and Vivian Male, Gabriel and Lilah Male, Sarah, Eleanor, and Joshua Unruh, Savanna and Emmett Misener and Charlotte and Lincoln Misener. She will be missed by Lisa Alway, whom she treasured like another daughter, and by many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Louise was predeceased by her younger siblings Helen Klick (1979) and Robert Meyer (2017), and by her sister-in-law Anna Meyer (2018). She is survived by her older brother, James Meyer, Toronto, her sister-in-law Joan Meyer, Teeswater, and her brother-in-law Ed Klick, Burlington.

Life on Spruceside Avenue was always hectic when raising eleven children, but Louise was able to bring calm and order to her large family. Her children felt her unwavering love and support as they pursued piano lessons to swimming and always enjoyed her amazing meals.

Always caring and giving after raising eleven children, Louise went back to pursue her nursing career at St. Joseph's Villa and Chedoke Hospital. She volunteered with many organizations including the Catholic Women's League, Birthright and Good Shepherd, to name a few.
Louise had an amazing smile and always saw the positive side in every situation. She was very spiritual and relied on her religious faith to assist her in difficult situations.
Special thanks to the parishioners at St. Joseph's Parish in Hamilton, especially the CWL members, who went out of their way to keep Louise involved in parish life as long as she was able, driving her to and from Mass, and to many activities and social events as well. Many thanks to St Joseph's Villa, Louise's home for the past two years.
